Could your business improve by implementing a corporate wellbeing strategy? Here are 5 great ways wellbeing can improve your business:

Increased Productivity:

A lot of the success of any business comes down to the productivity and performance of the work-force.

Most people would agree that productivity in the workplace is linked to health and happiness. Living a healthy and active lifestyle increases concentration, energy levels and brain power. It also means you can consistently perform at a high level. So companies that encourage healthy behaviours stand to reap the rewards.

Lower Absenteeism:

Workplace absenteeism is a significant cost to business – around £600 per employee, per year. By improving the health of your employees, it stands to reason that there will be a significant reduction in absenteeism.

The outcomes for employee health of a successful corporate wellbeing strategy include: to stop smoking, achieve weight loss, obesity prevention, reduction in cases of diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and reduction in stress and anxiety.

A study in the Journal of Health Promotion showed that companies with a successful wellbeing strategy had 25% lower annual sick leave

Job Satisfaction:

A healthy and active lifestyle improves happiness, so a company that encourages healthy living will have more satisfied, happier employees. Providing your employees with corporate wellbeing services makes them feel valued and rewarded, and demonstrates to them that your business wants to support them in their personal and working lives.

With Health Rewards, you can increase this satisfaction even further – we rewards people for living a healthy and active lifestyle. To find out more click here!

Retain Staff and Attract New Talent:

Investing in your employee’s health increases loyalty to the company. And a corporate wellbeing strategy is an attractive bonus for jobseekers. It’s a benefit of wellbeing that you can’t really put a price on, but company loyalty means reduced costs for recruitment and turnover, and a harmonious working environment.

Improve Bottom Line:

A more productive, healthier and happier workforce; reduced absenteeism costs; reduced recruitment costs – this all leads to an improved bottom line for your business.

A healthy, active workforce will also translate to real savings by reducing health policy claims and premiums.
